We're trying to make sure that youth athletes have access to athletic trainers/health care professionals at all sporting events/facilities. If any of you have kids that play sports you'll understand why this is so important!!

The white house won't make it happen, unconstitutional for the white house to make it into law, just as forcing religious organizations to provide free contraception coverage to employees when it is against their religion. However, i will sign it

Btw obamacare does make religious organizations do that, and it was found unconstitutional, and religious organizations are now exempt from providing that coverage if it is against their religion

Thanks. I think the whole point of it is just to get more awareness out there.. They could mandate that all public high schools employ athletic trainers... but that brings up a whole bunch of budget issues. One of the slogans going around NYS right now is "If you can't afford an athletic trainer, you can't afford athletics."

Which then brings up another issue, sports are something a lot of inter city poor schools use to keep their student's off the streets and get them out of the poverty, they won't be able to afford trainers, so now we deprive them of sports?

That's what I meant by budget issues. It's sort of a Catch 22. All high schools will have athletic trainers eventually.
